Linen or linen/cotton is probably your best bet if you can deal with the wrinkles. If not, then tropical wool. Those were pretty much my standard fabrics during our years in Florida (hot and humid).

If the collar fits you reasonably well, you can recut the rest, leaving the collar and shoulder seams intact. Pamela’s Patterns #103 T-Shirt Makeover is meant for this type of situation. It’s shown with a regular crewneck but works for a collared T-shirt, too.

Sewalongs and Competitions / Re: Sewing With A Kind Of Plan - SWAKOP our first wardrobing competition
« on: May 14, 2018, 21:48:43 PM »
Here’s my preliminary plan:
1. Pants and two tops
2. Skirt and two tops
3. Two dresses and a jacket
4. Probably another jacket
Groups 1 and 2 would mix and match. Jackets should be wearable with all groups. I still need to work out the colors. Because normally I’d jump in with black, gray, and red, but for some reason the turquoise and yellow fabrics in my collection want to be sewn up soon.

Thank you, Manuela! Now I need to figure out some kind of a plan.

I totally would. My ideal dream closet would have maybe five dresses in black or dark charcoal gray, with at least ten different bright-colored jackets. And coordinating scarves and jewelry.

I agree with Ploshkin. Your labels are beautiful.

Thank you all for the warm welcome! Utta, mostly SG (for years), PR only recently. Manuela, thank you, I’ll take a look at that thread now.
